Bug Description

Binary package hint: cheese

Whenever I try to start cheese, It crashes a few seconds after starting. I'm using Namtai Eyetoy USB Camera.
I've included a backtrace I captured with gdb.

I found out that running cheese with XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 fix the problem, so this must be another ARGB GTK problem.

Using:
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 cheese

also fixes this for me. Thanks, Taylor. :)

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 doesn't work for me but i'm using latest x from ppa(don't know if that's relevant to the bug though)
